THE Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight could be back on, with both sides discussing plans for a showdown in South Africa to mark Nelson Mandela’s 93rd birthday later this year.Relations between the rival camps appeared to be permanently soured following the breakdown of negotiations last year, with neither side able to find a resolution to a blood-testing dispute.
The waters have been further muddied by a string of charges hanging above Mayweather’s head, which could leave him facing a maximum of 34 years in jail. But Mayweather’s uncle Jeff says his nephew is now close to agreeing a deal to face Pacquiao.
He said: “I’m negotiating with both sides and it’s just a matter now of sending a letter of intent to Manny and one to Floyd and see where it can go.”
